In this video men’s style, grooming, fitness and lifestyle expert, Aaron Marino of IAmAlphaM, AaronMarino, and Pete & Pedro is on another shopping safari! In this episode, he’s shopping for budget-friendly chino brands (casual cotton pant, like a pressed khaki).

The Review

1. Old Navy Ultimate Slim $20.14 – he is super impressed. They are comfortable, not too tight, and have some stretch. They’re an incredible deal.

2. H&M Slim Fit (gray) $29.99 – They have a lot more stretch than Old Navy, are super comfortable, and much slimmer through thigh & calf. He really digs these pants. They’re awesome!

3. American Eagle Extreme Flex (green) $50 – They are looser than H&M with a lot of stretch. They have a nice slim leg and are super soft. He thinks that if he washes and dries them, they’ll fit better. These were the most expensive; however, they’re a store where you need to buy two to get the savings.

4. The GAP Skinny $44 – There’s a lot of stretch right off the bat, and they’re incredibly comfortable. They fit like H&M (very slim in the leg) but more comfortable. They feel better quality than the other 3 brands. This brand is the Alpha’s choice for the best budget-friendly chino.

Since watching these videos I am now a chino addict. I love the color options. I never spend more than fifty bucks on chinos. I literally just stopped wearing Jordan’s with matching hat etc. there’s so many more options when dressing like an adult. Also, I to wear a 28 inseam at 5’8 so I live the struggle
